Hi. Does it say Erard London, or Paris? The serial numbers are different. If it's Paris, records exist to tell you something of its history. Unfortunately, not for London, though a fairly accurate estimate of the date of manufacture is possible. Erards were THE piano of the 19th century, the most expensive and highest quality instrument available until Steinway came along and blasted them out of the water with an ever bigger sound.
